Abstract
In this paper a Markov chain based characterization of a single video source is used to model multiplexed video traffic and the resulting packet delay. The multiplexed video stream of statistically identical sources is represented using a reduced order approximation of the superposed Markov generator matrix. It is shown that inadequate spectral content in the single source generator matrix is manifested as an underestimate of the packet delay probabilities for the multiplexed stream. A new method for simplifying the generator matrix for the multiplexed video stream that amply models its spectral content is given. The simulated and calculated results using the aforementioned model are shown be in good agreement.
